Tokarski unofficially earned his fifth First Star of the season, and second straight â€¦ but these 2 goals-against games are killing his GAA stat-line [/sarcasm]. Tokarski made 14 saves in the third period to secure the win.

Of Note: Dave Sheldon, the Giantsâ€™ play-by-play man, reports Vancouver Canucksâ€™ GM Mike Gillis was in attendance, seated with Len Barrie, co-owner of the Lightning (per Gregg Drinnan of the Kamloops Daily News). Barrieâ€™s son, Tyson, is a defenseman with the Rockets. The younger Barrie (5'9", 22 points in 22 games in this, his draft year) had an assist in the game. Erik Erlendsson of the Tampa Tribune reported at least one Canucks scout in the press box for the Lightning's 4-3 loss to Detroit Thursday.

Also of note: Vancouverâ€™s Evander Kane (2009 draft eligible), the league leader in scoring, has registered at least a point in every game this year (20, 14-22-36). He was 1+1 and First Star this game.
